Again, that all depends on the ones who you're talking about.

[Descan]

Being immortal would be incredible, assuming it isn't one of those shitty sorts of immortality. Boring at times, sure, but you've got all the time there is to think of new things to do. And depending on the specific mechanics of it, you'd either start losing old memories or become unable to properly store new ones after a few thousand years. If you don't actually remember everything you've done, it's a lot less boring. I'd take a shot at immortality, not without question, no, (genre savvy, eh?), but fairly eagerly.

If it was fairly voluntary (Say, I put my memories of an event/activity in a computer. Then it's fresh again! And when I'm done, I can put my memories back!) I'd be okay with that. :3

The main problem of living forever: What will happen when the Universe ends? The end of the universe shall also mark the end of time and space. The only thing that shall remain is you, with your incredible amounts of knowledge. Soon, you shall start pondering, solving questions that no man's solved before. After a while (Okay, there's no time, but shut up) you shall solve every question there is, and you shall grow bored. Incredibly bored. So, using your incredible willpower, you shall create Matter, and Matter shall expand into another Universe, one that you'll be able to bend at your own whims.

... Wait, that actually sounds pretty damned sweet.

That assumes you already broke the energy problem (Heat death = no usable energy) in order to run your brain.

If so, then what's there to just snapping your fingers in the immediate aftermath and rebuilding the universe immediately? Why waste non-time? :3

I would rather live until the end of the galaxy than until the end of the universe.

And they are developing a computer that can work after the heat death of the galaxy. Uses no energy, but instead the 3D/4D structure of crystals.  Look up ” time crystals”

And thus, denizens of the nether void beyond the end of time and space could still get their porn.

Did you just prove the existence of at least one God ? Like  immortal Russian dolls beings matter creating.

Let's see... problems with living forever...

Memory, it is suspected by some scientists that you'd eventually reach a point where years would pass by like minutes, being frozen for trillions of years (heat death), being torn apart or crushed (big crunch/big rip), being shot, experimented upon, tortured etc. innumerable times over the course of your never-ending lifespan, you'd eventually go insane...

I really pity their guinea pig.

[Owlbread]

I wouldn't mind living forever as long as I could choose to die whenever I wanted to. If everyone I love and care about dies, that's ok. I'll get over it. A lot of us are going to be doing that in the future anyway as our life expectancy increases.

To be on topic however, I would say that one of the most amazingly stupid things I have ever heard someone say is "I thought Africa was a country". That may not sound so bad but I was in the last stages of high school at the time and the girl was about to head to University.

Was that girl's name Sarah Palin?

It may as well have been, I can't remember her name though.

[The Darkling Wolf]

I have to admit, I used to think of Africa as a country. Up until I was like, 13

That's fine, this girl was at least 17.

[kerlc]

I thought Africa was the place where everything cool happened, like wizards, genies, and all that delightful stuff.

Then, i got my hands on a children encyclopedia.

[Scoops Novel]

"Why would you want to use solar enegry, won't the sun run out?"

Teenagers, I swear.

I resent that.

I don't. At 17.

[Sheb]

Living forever would be pretty cool for the first billions years, but the whole "wandering through the emptiness of space" would get really boring after a while.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Shit, I don't see how. I could just lie in a room all day and imagine shit (and have done so, in fact). Who needs outside stimulus when you've got infinite planes of reality in your head.
